Yes, estat is part of Stata 9.  In Stata 8.2, try using -fitstat-, which is 
part of the Long & Freese -spostado- package (note that there are different 
versions for Stata 8 and 9).  Also, the -stats- option on -lrtest- will 
produce BIC and AIC statistics when comparing models.  Paul Millar and 
others have also written BIC-related programs, e.g. -bic- and -bicdrop1-; 
try -findit bic- .
